GREAT LAKES TOWNHALL SIGN-OFF
January 2011

For the past six years, the Great Lakes Town Hall has been a place where concerned, interested and passionate Great Lakes residents have come together to share their thoughts. With commentary, editorials on current local and national news and guest writers sharing their art, advocacy and opinions, we have always tried to have a diverse and active website.

The Great Lakes Town Hall is a program of Biodiversity Project, a Chicago-based environmental nonprofit organization. While we firmly believe that there should be a place for frank and open discussion on the future and current state of out Great Lakes, we believe that we are no longer the appropriate stewards of that task.

Special thanks all of the participants, readers and contributors that have made this site possible. In particular, thanks to Gary Wilson and Dave Dempsey who spent countless volunteer hours researching, writing and responding to Town Hall comments.

We will continue our work to inspire people to take action to protect and restore Earth’s most precious natural resources. We hope you will do the same.
